Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice to alter a System of Records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 and Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-130, notice is hereby given that the 
Department of the Army proposes to alter a system of records, A0037-
104-3 USMA, entitled ``USMA Cadet Account System,'' last published at 
65 FR 3219, January 20, 2000. This system of records exists to enable 
Cadets to receive income (salary, scholarship, individual deposits, 
etc.) and pay for expenses (uniforms, books, a computer, activity fees, 
etc.) while attending the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West 
Point. The program is managed by the USMA Treasurer who is charged with 
ensuring all cadets meet their USMA financial obligations.
    This revision reflects considerable administrative changes that in 
sum warrant an alteration to the system of records notice. There are 
two significant changes: The categories of records has been updated to 
provide additional details on the information collected; and the 
applicable DoD Routine Uses have been incorporated in the notice to 
provide clarity for the public. There are also modifications to the 
system name, authorities, purpose, storage, retrievability, safeguards, 
notification and record access procedures, contesting record 
procedures, and records source categories to improve readability and 
update the notice to meet current departmental standards.

DATES: Comments will be accepted on or before December 15, 2016. This 
proposed action will be effective the date following the end of the 
comment period unless comments are received which result in a contrary 
determination.
